Date: May 17, 2026 Participant: Jen Tydlaska #40264 Race: 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K Centipede Distance: 7.4 miles

Steady Progress and Strong Finish Jen maintained a consistent pace throughout the race, with an average elapsed pace of 11:04 min/mile over a 7.45-mile course. Her performance improved in the second half of the race, with a notable recovery after Hayes Hill from mile 2 to mile 3, indicated by dropping her split time to 10:47 min/mile by mile 6. She eventually finished with an impressive final mile at 10:18 min/mile. She ranked 171st in gender and was part of the "Dashing through the sn(oh!)w" team. As a coach, her pacing technique was effective on the challenging sections, particularly from miles 2 to 3. For future races, consider building on this progress by potentially starting the race at a slightly higher pace to bring her overall performance closer to her strong finishing kick.
